To further evaluate the efficiency of gas exchange in the lungs, DLCO (diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide) testing is frequently employed in conjunction with spirometry. This test yields more precise measurements of the lung’s capacity to transfer gas from inspired air into the bloodstream and offers valuable insights into lung function beyond ...
In the field of aviation and aerospace research, it’s crucial to understand how low-pressure, high-altitude conditions affect the human body. These studies can help ensure the safety and efficiency of flight and space crew selection and ...
Nafion is a polymer that can add/remove select materials, including water vapor, to a gas stream through a first order kinetic reaction (a chemical reaction). Because it’s non-porous, other molecules cannot pass through it. This unique property makes it ideal for medical applications such as removing water vapor from breath samples or adding humidity to gas samples for therapeutic ...
Report in the Medical Gas Association newsletter Consultation with medical gas quality controllers (QCs) to optimise specification has lead to, "A major improvement in portable instrumentation for the analysis of medical gases," according to Ed Doyle QC (MGPS). He reported in the August 2010 issue of the Medical Gas Association (www.mga.org.uk) newsletter on his experience with the new Geotech ...
